"The emirate of has been named the safest city in the country in 2017 with up to 99.77 per cent of residents feeling safe."
The new system is expected to curb crimes and road accidents and casualties in a significant way, he underlined. "It will also help reduce the time needed for response to emergency situations."
Brigadier Jamal Al Tair, director-general of the resources and assistance services, RAK Police, said the project will boost competition, investment and tourism in the emirate.
The surveillance system, operating on high definition smart cameras, is flexible and can be further developed. "It will be connected with all local authorities and departments in the emirate via the central operations room."
The new system will be linked to the 125,000 surveillance cameras installed across the emirate, Brig Al Tair said.
